Barafundle Bay
Pembrokeshire
|
Location Guide |
Often described as the most beautiful beach in Pembrokeshire, Barafundle
has an exotic touch, with fine golden sand, and dunes and woodland behind the
beach. It’s east-facing and therefore sheltered from prevailing winds.
It is now
owned by the National Trust, but was originally part of the Stackpole
Estate. The wall was built by the Estate’s owners in the 18th century to
enclose their deer park, and the steps were once lined with ornamental columns
and trees. Stackpole Quay, near the car park, was used to ship out limestone
from the nearby quarry and bring in coal and other goods for Stackpole Court.
It is within the
Pembrokeshire Coast National
Park.
